.DISCUSSION...
Continued drought and dry weather will combine with temperatures
well above normal today. By afternoon minimum relative humidity
values will be near 30 percent across much of the area along with
increasingly breezy southwest winds. There will be decent
recovery tonight and Tuesday increasing moisture will lead to
slightly higher minimum relative humidity values. Then Tuesday
night and Wednesday showers and steady rain will move through the
region bring a wetting rainfall for most areas. Cooler
temperatures and dry weather will move in behind the departing
cold front.
